Fiona
Photographed by Hanna Wolf
I met Fiona as part of an ongoing series exploring the stories of mothers who were unable to hold their children at birth. After the unexpectedly traumatic birth of her twins, Fiona faced the devastating diagnosis of breast cancer. The lost moments of holding her newborns on her chest echoed in ways she could never have imagined as she underwent a double mastectomy. When we met, six months after her surgery, Fiona shared that she was ready to be photographed with her scars. What began as the absence of touch transformed into a profound journey of grief, resilience, and triumph, reclaiming her body not just as a place of healing but as a space where motherhood and selfhood can be reimagined.
